The King's office
" Nothing I like" Ricardo said
" I heard you went to see the festival outside the palace with your new bodyguard, did you like it" said the King
" Ahem, I just admire him" Ricardo said as he tried to hide the shocked expression on his face from the King.
" Do you think she will take part in the Crown Princess's election competition?"
" I don't know"
" What if the candidate for the Crown Princess election competition this time we hold for all the girls in the kingdom who enter the age of marriage and of course he will also participate. Do you agree with my advice?"
" YES! looks like it's a good idea, I'll follow the advice you gave me"
Then Ricardo went back to his study and one week after they finished discussing, the palace announced that it will hold a Crown Princess selection competition for all girls in the kingdom who are old enough to marry and for those who want to enter the competition it is expected to prepare 1 month later to entering palace.
The gathering of noble princesses was sitting in a dessert while talking about the announcement about the selection of the Crown Princess as the main topic.
" You have heard this time the election of the Crown Princess can be followed by girls from ordinary people" said one of the princesses gathered there
" Yes, but still it would be difficult for ordinary people to take the test in this competition"
" YES! not everyone is fit to follow him"
" But did all the noble princesses enter the Crown Princess selection competition?"
" Do you think Dame Elona will enter this competition?"
Finally the princesses of the nobility argued with each other about the participation of Dame Elona
" If he's coming, do you think it's fair? he could have gotten a leak of the test first given his relationship with the Crown Prince" Elizabeth's instigated friend from Sabrina to the noble daughters gathered there.
"It doesn't matter who will be the Crown Princess candidate but it is definitely Sabrina's most superior daughter" Elizabeth continued
" right! princess Sabrina she is the smartest student among the other noble daughters will definitely easily pass the Crown Princess selection test" said the girl sitting next to Elizabeth
" Yes! there will definitely be many nobles who will support if princess Sabrina becomes Crown Princess" said one of the girls who wanted to be close to Sabrina
" Thank you all for your support and for believing that I will win the Crown Princess's selection competition test" Sabrina said
Elona and her two friends were talking about the same thing. When hearing the news about the Crown Princess' election competition, Maria and Leana went straight to Elona's house because they were also curious if Elona would enter the competition.
" Elona, you know now the princesses are busy talking about the Crown Princess election competition" Maria said.
" And you're also one of their topics of conversation" Leana said
They nod their heads when they hear their own words
" You guys calm down first! what do you mean I'm their topic too?" said Elona
" They're wondering if you're going to compete or not? Will the Crown Prince be fair if you enter the competition? people think you're going to get a leak about the tests in this competition" Maria said
" I'm not coming because there will definitely be many other noble daughters who have been waiting for this kind of opportunity. After all, the Crown Prince is not the type of guy I like" Maria said
" YES ! I'm the same as Maria, I'm not sure I can do my duties and responsibilities as Crown Princess either. How do you not come?" leana said
" I don't know! I'm still confused. You think I'd better come or not?"
"If you get elected Crown Princess, are you ready to let go of your sword because you will no longer be able to become a warrior?" leana said
" Yes, are you ready to take off your sword because as a child your ideals became the best soldiers in the kingdom?" said Maria
" Why are you so sure that I will win the Crown Princess election competition among the other noble princesses?"
" Since you're one of the best candidates, do you like the Crown Prince?" said Maria
" How do I know I like that guy?" ask Elona
" I've never been in love" Maria said, turning her eyes to Leana in hopes of helping them.
" I don't have one either, I just read it from romance novels, she said our hearts would pound and always think of that person"
" I'll think about it again, thanks for your advice"
After Maria and Leana return home, Elona goes to her papa's office and asks for an opinion on the Crown Princess' election competition whether or not she will participate.
" Papa, can I talk to you for a second?"
" Elona come in! just now that I wanted to call you, you wanted to discuss the matter of the Crown Princess's election competition which will soon be held"
" Yes, I want to ask you your opinion because this is not only a matter of me but also a matter of politics"
" Are you afraid that our family will get into trouble because the nobles are vying to make her son the Crown Princess?"
" Yes, I'm afraid that any noble will be blinded by power and will use all means to obtain the position of Crown Princess"
" It is inevitable, but for papa the most important thing is your happiness. Do you like the Crown Prince? if so, I will support your decision"
" But you have to think about it well, although our kingdom has a monogamous marriage system but there will be many people who are after your position and you must always be careful in every political decision you make because your decision can also affect the good of the kingdom and the Crown Prince.
Are you ready for that heavy responsibility?" continued Marques
" YES! I am still thinking about it as well and I do not know if I like the Crown Prince all along my feelings are only awe as subordinates to the superiors or people to the would-be leaders of this kingdom"
" If you only admire her as a leader and want to help her you don't need to enter the Crown Princess's election competition you will still be her personal bodyguard or a friend who can be invited to exchange ideas, but if you like the Crown Prince, just take part in the competition"
" I'll figure out what feelings I feel for the Crown Prince clearly first and if I've found out I'll tell you what decisions I'm going to make"
" Whatever decisions you make, don't forget that you'll still support you"
" Yes! thanks for your support papa. I'm going back to the room"
